Scripture Themed Poetry

joseph

Our fathers understood not Thy works
Thus the Psalmist said‎ and thus we read
In malice be mere innocent children
But in Divine understanding be men

When Joseph had his dream
That all creatures in the realm
Will bow to his regal authority
His brethren despised the usurper
And thought his intentions improper

When Noah went to build an ark
Men scoffed at the coming rain
For mild mist from the earth’s crust
Watered the earth without any pain
They felt he was a befuddled buffoon

The men of Sodom also misunderstood
The message of the angels about fiery doom
They thought it was a time for mirth and sport
While Judgement’s vessel was already in port

People misunderstand the coming storm
Mocking the warnings of the Weather Station
As theological pundits reassure all of the norm
Like in Noah’s day they deride the prophet
Buffeting times will show the true muppet
